“We’re going to make sure that the task force lives up to the goal of the bill,” Lee told the group Thursday. “Healthcare is something that’s so incredibly important and personal, and something that we struggle with here in Southern Nevada, and that’s before we even get to language access, and that’s why this roundtable is so important to me.”
